There are a number of ways but by far most successful that I use is by using a simple email!!! No harder than that this building a relationship idea…

Once customer has bought my ebay item I send a simple receipt via email thanking them for thier purchase and making them aware of my website and offering them opportunity to join my mailing list so that I can contact them with furthur offers they may be interested in.

I make it very clear that I have no intention of flooding them with spam and give them choice of number of times they will be contacted in a month. This has two effects, they gain trust in your professionalism as you are seen not to be just harvesting emails and it also makes them feel in control as they set frequency of contact.

It does mean that I have to operate a number of mailing lists but this is a small price to pay to lock customers into my products.

The majority of my customers (approx. 90%) join ‘1-4 times a month’ list which is great as this means that I can contact them once a week with offers if I needed. This is a frequency that I feel is adequate to maintain relationship between me and my customers as I am not seen to be spamming them but still seen to be offering products of interest to them.

It is also important to note that I do not always send out one mailing a week as it is dependent on product you sell as to whether customer would want to purchase once a week. i believe greatly in relationship that I have with my customers and can see long term benefits of maintaining this and therefore I refuse to jepordise it for a quick profit.

A point to remember, if they choose not to take opportunity to join your list then do not keep emailing them. this is SPAM and will do no more than tarnish your company, website and products image in eye of buyer.

What I am saying is Think outside of ebay box, ebay offers a massive opportunity in terms of potential customers and long term profits as opposed to short term profits.

How much would it cost to get number of page views, that ebay listings get, on your website using your own traffic generating methods, use ebay and use it good.

You should join affiliations on internet. These affiliations allow you to put a link on web sites in affiliation that lead to your nutrition home business website. These affiliations can cost up to hundreds of dollars. Each affiliation is different.

Remember, on internet you have to spend money to drive web surfers to your nutrition home business site. The other thing is to create web site content that is search engine optimized. The higher keyword in search engine list, higher your web site will be to top of list.

The last option is to go to college and get your degree in nutrition. This option does cost more and takes longer, but upon graduation, your nutrition business options open up wide. Many nutritionists work for themselves, but partner with doctors and hospitals. They establish a practice and see clients in their home or rented office space.

Having a nutrition business at home allows you to set your own hours and to work as much or as little as you want. You can specialize in nutritional supplements to help lose or gain weight, sports nutrition, or as a nutritionist specializing in eating disorders. Whichever option, your choices are limitless.

Depending on money you want to spend and what kind of nutrition business you prefer, will help you decide which option is best for you. It is important to choose option you are most comfortable with, because it is then more likely you will succeed and your business will be profitable.
